Re: Oil top up
However the manual tells you to CHECK it, that is when it should be topped up.
IIRC, that would be WARM.
It really isn't THAT important as the difference is likely to be only a few CCs.

Re: Running "Darkside"
What you said is pretty much what I said all along. You need to adjust your riding style to accommodate the different handling......as much as possible.
I would never consider doing it because...

Re: fork oil leak
We haven't heard much about it here.
Not keeping the fork tubes clean can make them fail faster.

Re: Hello All
Just because you are "on the road", doesn't mean that the course would be a waste of time.
Lots of riders who have been actively riding for YEARS find it useful.

Re: 94 Octane Chevron

I think you are a sane and reasonable person :) but it still worries me just a little that you seem to be "set" on bringing the bike back on the first trip......which may not be a good thing.

Re: I got a 5th gear problem..
Except he said it "bogs down" instead of "the engine races".

Re: Electronic Start issues....
You can bridge across the big lugs on the solenoid and "force" the starter to run......unless there is a cable loose or the starter is bad. Doing that bypasses the start switch and all the safeties....

THIS IS NOT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. It just isn't.
